Amy M Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I recently posted on my blog some comparisons I had done to help myself sort out some grammar options, and when I discussed Rod and Staff (and ABeka the week before) a friend asked the following: "I do not have any children, but we do run a boarding school for the deaf and I will be hopefully starting a grammar school for deaf adults here in India. I like ABB grammar, but agree with you on the composition, I wish that it was in a separate book. In your studies have you noticed any that books that are a little less American? Many of the sentences reference American holidays, cities, names, etc. Any help would be appreciated." So I thought I would ask y'all over here--what would be some good grammar suggestions for her setting? She'd probably want something Christian, but might not mind secular; just less Amero-centric than ABeka. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just about anything would be less "Amero-centric" than Abeka. I think they take the cake. Rod and Staff was written with small school in mind and would probably be a big help. Though, maybe something like Analytical Grammar (secular) would be better suited to adults?

Rosie_0801 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Analytical grammar is American-centric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Anything other than Abeka. Singapore (the math people) have a grammar series that is not America-centric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy M Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Singapore (the math people) have a grammar series that is not America-centric. That's interesting. I didn't know that. Is it thorough? does it teach diagramming? Do you have a link to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 That's interesting. I didn't know that. Is it thorough? does it teach diagramming? Do you have a link to it? This is the one of which I was speaking. There is also this one. I don't know whether they are different or whether the second one is just updated. I don't know whether it teaches diagramming. There is an excellent, inexpensive diagramming book here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
